HUMANKIND AND BIODIVERSITY, A WORK IN PROGRESS

Stereotypes on the preservation of the environment and biodiversity are many. But reality is more complex. An international team of top scientists, including American,British and French, are confronted witht he issue in Mozambique and Madagascar.Their aim: scan and inventory the lost worlds of the Indian Ocean, namely theprimary forests of Mozambique, labeled a global conservation hotspot and thesouth coast of Madagascar, a hostile area buffeted by the moods of the Antarctic,which has never been explored by scientists and harbours hundreds of unknownspecies. In parallel to the results of the scientific expedition, this one-off intends toinvestigate on a more global scale into the financial, political and economic stakesbehind the preservation of nature.
